Park closure

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park will be temporarily closed on Friday 28 August 2026 from 6 - 11 am (ACST) for the funeral of a senior Aṉangu woman. Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park will re-open at 11 am on Friday 28 August.

More information: Temporary park closure Friday 28 August 2026

Qantas will start direct flights to Uluṟu from both Darwin and Adelaide in March 2019.

Operating twice a week, the new flights will let residents of the Northern Territory and South Australian capitals reach Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park much quicker.

It’s also great news for travellers from further afield, letting them easily combine a visit to the park with the wonders of the Top End (Kakadu, anyone?)

With the Red Centre appearing on Lonely Planet’s list of the best regions to visit in 2019, there’s sure to be plenty of interest in these new routes.
